The Humans: 2016 Tony Winner for Best Play

In his "beautifully observed and deeply moving new play" (Chicago Tribune), Pulitzer Prize finalist Stephen Karam (Sons of the Prophet) takes a fresh look at the hilarity, heart and horrors of modern American family life. Deciding to shake the holiday up a bit, Erik Blake brings his family from Pennsylvania to New York City to celebrate Thanksgiving at his youngest daughter's run-down apartment. But as darkness falls outside the crumbling pre-war duplex, mysterious things start to go bump in the night -- and family tensions reach a boiling point. After a successful Broadway run in 2016, where it won the Tony Award for Best Play, The Humans now comes to ASU Gammage in Tempe, directed once again by two-time Tony winner Joe Mantello (Assassins) and featuring an acclaimed cast including Richard Thomas, Pamela Reed and Daisy Eagan.
